Every question except one that I got wrong was on a question type I haven't drilled yet, which is promising. I got 2 determine the function questions wrong and 1 "most useful" (?) question wrong. I feel like I am going to need to brush up on my weakening skills despite the fact that I just got done drilling them. I felt the least confident on those. .

What? Are the sheets not stapled together into a booklet in the actual exam?

I bought the Manhattan LSAT 10 Real Exams Grouped By Question Type book today. I worked through it for about five hours in the library but I was still getting a handful wrong on the assumption sets and I was taking longer than usual and had to reread the stimuli a lot. I even found myself second guessing my selections (which I rarely do) but, except for one of those, I was correct.Are these signs of maybe being a bit of burnt out? Should I hold off until the weekend to go through the rest of the book?

Any thoughts?

Generally the 4th game is the hardest of the section (ie Zones (PT67)), so you don't want that to mess with your confidence going in to the last game (game 3). I'd also suggest going in order; build up your confidence as you work through the section to tackle that 4th game.

Ok looks like I righted the ship a little bit. 15 in a row correct on the assumption sets.

Btw, why do people advocate looking through the games/passages and deciding which ones to attack first? Shouldn't you just approach them all with confidence knowing you'll have to do them all and will be wasting precious seconds flipping through to pick and choose? Is that just a psychological strategy?

If I am running out of time in RC, I will occasionally go to the passage that has more questions first.

And I think people decide which ones to attack first because of timing; you want to finish the "easier" ones first so you have more time to spend on the seemingly harder ones. But I agree it's a waste of precious time flipping through the section -- attack them in succession with confidence; hopefully gradually gaining more confidence as you work your way through a section.

I definitely do the passages in order of # of questions because I almost always run out of time
